A top-down, stealth-action murder simulator Described as a brutal stealth-action game inspired by titles likeSyndicateandGrand Theft Auto, Flat Earth’sMetrocidehas me very, very interested. With a visual style that appears right at home in Devolver Digital’s stable of hardcore neo-retro titles, this top-down murder simulator looks like it just might have what it takes to stand alongside games likeHotline Miami.
